Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Kaur13]

For Permanent Resident visa application from India, I'm finding it difficult to book appointment with VFS office. Can someone please guide me on what kind of appointment I should book?

You can book the appointment for Biometric request on following link https://www.vfsglobal.ca/IRCC-AppointmentWave1/Account/RegisteredLogin
I was able to rebook today for Oct 12 (Chandigarh) previously it was booked for Dec 09 since there was nothing available prior to that. But I received the email from VFS on Oct 2nd that they added additional spots starting October, so I was able to reschedule earlier. You may need to try every day since it's pretty busy.

I received the passport request letter. Since my mother is in Canada, I’m sending the web form to update her residency. May I know how to submit the photo/ eye color height info through webform? Or is it not required for virtual landing?

YOu can just add a note when you submit the passport stating the height and eye color. It is a simple letter with her name, application ID and responses to what they have asked for. Good luck!

Hello, 14 May 2019 applicant here. So my parents got the remedical in July this year which was cleared in mid-September. They got the medical survilence notice next day and since they are already here on visitor visa, we received the letter from medical clinic for the checkup related to medical survilence.

I have checked the forum, in almost all the cases, these tests are done after applicant lands as a Permanent resident here. But in our case the application is still in process, so we don't have health card. How does it work then? I need to pay for this medical survilence?

Thank you for the response! I’m not required to submit the passport since my mother is in Canada. I just found out the answer from other posts saying that she will receive a virtual landing portal access where she can upload her photos. Thank you!

Hello @admin please update Line 643, my parents finally got the visa stamped.

Decision made-Sep 14, Passport request and pre-arrival service letter
Passport stamped: Sep 30

I want to ask if anyone has suggestions for insurance to purchase till their medical cards are made, there is 90 day waiting period which is so lame. Please advise. Also, does anyone have any experience with what questions/documentation may be required at the port of entry? What happens next?

Thank you all for your kind contributions, advice, suggestions, and listening to each other as we all have waited for a really long time. Special thanks to admins who have been diligently updating the tracker for everyone to follow the progress!!

Looking forward to bring my parents as soon as possible by God's blessings !! My best wishes to each and every one of you to soon be reunited with your parents/grandparents.

Hello,
If you are from Ontario, you don't need to wait for 90 days in order to get a health card. I confirmed with health Ontario, they have waived off this requirement for now.

In BC, you need to have private insurance for less than three months to cover any medical emergencies.
For example: If they land in end of October, MSP coverage can start on Jan 01, 2021 provided application is made timely.

Medical surveliance is free in most of the provinces. In your case ask the clinic if you have to pay. If you have to pay, request them to postpone the appointment after your parents can land.

Is that passport request or to submit copy of updated document?
Which one is the LVO: NDVO or CPC-M?

That is good indication of your parents' case is in the final stage. Did you receive medical pass date in MyCIC?

Yup, GCKey showed medical passed Oct. 4.
Although it was passed in their system since July... their staff never bothered to update the information.
We recently contacted MP, might be why the file is moving

My parents are not in Canada, will it get delayed for DM and PPR? I know for in Canada applicants, they can do virtual landing but not in our case.
Don't know if travel restrictions etc will impact this.
